“The thing that troubles me most is how we handle adversity,” he continued. “It seems like when we make a mistake or get a bad break, we compound it by getting mad, getting down, trying to retaliate or just quitting.”

Despite being down only 24-14 at halftime, the Pats turned in a decidedly lackluster second half giving up 27 unanswered points to lose 52-14.
